Partners for Life

The Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario has pledged participation with the Canadian Blood Services, as Mason’s in Georgian North District, we have pledged to donate 20 units during this coming year. Canadian Blood Services (CBS) and GLCPOO have made collecting information on those that donate blood easy by partnering in the Partners for Life (PFL) program. This program is open to all masons, family members and friends to participate in. For a donation to count towards Georgian North District, when making a donation is advise Canadian Blood Services of the PFL#

These Grand Lodge certificates recognize: the first time donor, 25 donations, 50 donations, 75 donations, 100 donations, 125 donations, 150 donations, etc. For a mason to be recognized, the milestone donation numbers must be obtained from CBS by the donor and provided to the individual Lodge Chairman, who in turn will forward a request for certificate to Grand Lodge. For recognition the name and Masonic Rank is required for the Grand Lodge Certificate.
